ADHD brains and making art

How does ADHD affect the brain when making art? This is how I work with my brain.
Summary: ADHD brains are chronically understimulated, so we require novelty or intensity to sustain attention. For me, comics is a puzzle-solving exercise. Laughter stimulates my brain as does seeing others' reaction to my work. It helps me keep going. I still am limited to short bursts of focused energy (especially for long projects) but knowing this about my brain helps me keep going.
What about you? How do you work with your brain?
